Any update on pics? Awesome canopy.. really even, how much wattage is shining down onto them ladies? I currently have a 4x4 tent on the go too day 49 at the minute.

I had them at 16” 2/3 weeks ago. And since then they have stretched a fair bit. Some obviously more then others checking the height last night some colas were as close as 10” and others at 18” I adjusted the light back to 16” and will check on them over theBack the light off a little bit and water more often.
Clean up all the dead leaves under the canopy and inside the plant where no light goes. Too much dead matter will bring out the nasties.
You should keep pH at 5.5 and let it drift up to 6.0, and lower your ppm to 1 -1.5 EC
Also next run get a small boy RO filter, it makes feeding way easier.
Hempys are dope, I still use Hempy cups in veg. Having great success with hydroton balls as the medium instead of perlite.
Your canopy looks great, just needs some fine tuning.
Wow! Looking good mate. I hope my end up with some good colas like yours! How many plants in there? I wish I never started checking my ec/ppm lol it drives me insane sometimes chasing problems. I definitely over complicated things tho.They look sweet mate, i use canna terra soil with mixed perlite in it..all canna nutes.. I'm from the u.k were pretty boring lol, View attachment 4494940ashamed to say to but I have never checked my ppm on water or even e.c on my nutes ! I have only ever phed my water that's it, I like to keep it simple so far so good took this few days ago day 50 now, about 3 weeks left I View attachment 4494941think. Trellice was installed on day 21 flower to support weight incase..
In coco you go 5.8-6.3. Perlite, rockwool, hydroton, you want 5.5-6.0.5.5?? I have never really seen anyone grow with lower them 5.8 really. I’ve been told to grow from 5.8 and drift to 6.3. I was around the 1.6-1.8 ec mark when using 3/4 dose Lucas maxibloom. But since going to full rate it’s over. Since researching on here I’ve seen some very low and very high ppm/ec being used.
Theres 3 shining silver haze from seed, I think I need to invest in an ec pen next round, then again do I? I dont wanna get obsessed with it.. thanks bro there quite big colas now not very dense at the minute hopefully they densen up a tad 20 days left!Wow! Looking good mate.

I wanted to try scrogging this grow but decided again it but use a scrog frame with 2 nets. Found a pvc design online but I’m kinda glad I didn’t now my tent is already cluttered. Next grow I think I’ll make a frame with a Trellis that joins onto my mesh panel where my buckets sit.
I used coco with ph 5.8 but I found so many different phs for %100 perlite, hempy grows, anything from the 5.5 as you stated to 6.3 to cover everything. I thread I made on Grasscity about ph this is 1 answer I got (pic) everyone seems to use different phs, and changes if cloned or from seed to ive foundIn coco you go 5.8-6.3. Perlite, rockwool, hydroton, you want 5.5-6.0.
With tap water its hard to stay below 1.5 EC, but once you step up to RO you can dial it way back. I don't go over 580 ppm on the .5 scale.
I used to use tap water and higher EC and the plants were always stressed out and would need a longer flush. A lot of OGs hate that combo and put out garbage if not pampered right. Hardier strains won't show as much stress.
If your grow is doing that well without owning a ec pen then I wouldn’t worry. I have a 2-1 bluelab ph-ec/ppm meter it’s handy to have. If you don’t want to get obsessed then don’t get one lol they look dense. My buds are slowly filling in I hope they get dense. This is my 4rd grow (1 outdoor) (2 indoors) (this 1 indoors) and have always had problems and didn’t get a good yield/quality buds.Theres 3 shining silver haze from seed, I think I need to invest in an ec pen next round, then again do I?

Use it next run and lower ppms, see if you like the difference.I brought a RO setup a while ago But never ended up installing it it’s still in my shed this is it.

It really depends on the strain & your grow. If you want to hmu on IG where I'm on more I can answer your questions more personally to your grow. IG= dabble_in_the__dark_artsjust browsing this forum becuase i have similar issue and you seem to know your stuff, when would you idealy defoliate leaves and lolipop. in veg? specific time in flower? both?
